Buckwheat is a universal side dish for meat and is also good as an independent dish. Bright carrots look very interesting in the finished side dish. I also added chopped parsley. I think that buckwheat porridge with carrots and onions is one of the basic dishes with which you can experiment)

I loved this simple and straightforward recipe. In addition, buckwheat porridge with carrots and onions is prepared very quickly. I decided to cut the carrots for porridge into large cubes because that’s what my daughter likes. Fry carrots and onions until golden brown. I washed the buckwheat and soaked it for about five minutes. The ratio of grain to water is perfect here! Cooked on low heat with a lid on. All the liquid was completely absorbed and the buckwheat became crumbly. At the same time, the porridge turned out juicy and tasty! Carrots give buckwheat a sweetish taste.
